... and then there were none! HELP!

Me too ... after the weekend with extra long jobs and all fun and games, it's been patchy with work. I've sent a e-mail to the team and await an answer.

Work seems to come in clumps when calculations are done and the next batch is ready to be worked on. It makes it a bit of a lottery to get work. Try running another project at the same time as eOn to utilize the time best.

Will we see some work in the near future?

Seems like we're running out of work to do ... no new work for the past few hours.

WU 1391271348_1440_0 Computer ID 28285 Run time 27,283.44 CPU time 27,283.44 Credit 5.20 Previous WU on same machine - 378334476_20_11450885_0 Run time 428.21 CPU time 428.21 Credit 2.27 647 times longer to run for 2.3 times the credit. I'm sorry but I'm aborting these very long WUs as this is ridic...

Thanks for the quick work of restoring work! Have the credits been re-done too?

I'm getting a Project has no tasks available message from the servers. Are we getting some work soon?

For the past few hours I am only getting about 1/3 the credit for work? Something wrong or new?

It's not a good way to promote eOn by letting machines crunch through work then get a "cancelled by server" message and zero credits. Are these big WUs causing the problem?

If I want to do meaningless work, I can go to Seti! :) Seriously, can someone look at the work?

Looks like we have some more of these long WUs - 210773455_4540_0 estimates to 3 hours for completion.

Edit - seems like Boinc manager has a problem estimating completion time as they're more like 30 mins - but the manager shows 3 hours.

Just to add my 2 cents worth. I'm trying Puppy Linux on a machine with Windows 7 64 and it's nearly twice as quick with Linux. If you want to check for yourselves see my profile Concrete-mixing Moose at the Knights who say Ni! team. Computer id 28285 and computer id 25843 are the same machine with d...

The question is though how do we know when a WU will finally move from 0% progress or not? Most eOn WUs are completed after max 30 minutes, if we're not told by the project team of these long WUs then it's not surprising that most of the donors (that's us that pay for the electricity, PC, internet c...

These were not the slow ones, but had 0% progress after 2 hours. The slow ones are at about 75% after 2 hours.
